Hi, new to the forums. I just installed Windows 7 and I've gotten most everything to work except for this device. I tried running the installer off the disk and it would not connect to my headset.

Any suggestions?

You could try running the setup with compatibility mode.

Running setup in compatibility mode didn't help. The dongle would install successfully as far as I could tell but still would not pair with any audio devices. I remember Vista having this same problem.

What driver Belkin uses? Bluesoleil, Toshiba or Broadcom? Dont know any other exists:P I had a A2DP problem with Broadcom drivers on Vista so maybe the same here?

Welcome to the forums!

I highly recommend BlueSoleil DL their software, reboot, then insert your device.

Thanks. I just uninstalled everything. So in this case, I would reinstall first? or would I get BlueSoleil first?

Problem Solved

It just dawned on me. When you plug in a new device, Windows 7 checks Windows Update. And then I remembered that my copy of AVG Internet Suite actively blocks Windows Update for some reason. On a whim, I uninstalled every bluetooth driver and package I toyed with and ran the installer off the disk with the firewall off.

The device now works perfectly.

So I guess now...how do I stop the firewall from blocking Windows Update? :)

Probably adding MS update to exception list will help. Or something similar. I’m using NOD32 Antivirus (just AV, without build in firewall) and everything works fine. Maybe try to contact AVG support, read manual…

Nice to hear that BT dongle works fine now.:)

Hi, I have Belkin F8T016 too, I wanted to use it to connect it to my mobile phone to transfer music files without USB cord. When I insert the dongle, windows finds and installs driver automatically, shows devices as ready, but when I go to Bluetooth places and add new device, it can't find any devices, same with my phone, it can't see the computer. Tried downloading from Belkin support page, same result, plus it's weirdly states that it's 32 bit version driver:

Belkin : Support : Bluetooth Driver

No reply from support, I think I'm ready to give up and throw the dongle to the drawer in hopes for future fixes.

F8T016 troubles

Hello
don't know if you are still having problems but I got mine to work with no problems, yet.
Open your instilation disk, windows file, win32 file, open Inst aplication and follow the promps. When finnished reboot and again follw the promps on start up.
I use a bluetooth mouse and it is working great.
